Technical thermal dynamics

Education facts

Code: EMGA91

Instruction is in the form of lectures and exercises as well as laboratory sessions. The course comprises the following components: - the temperature concept - energy conversions - thermodynamic main theorems - properties of pure substances - ideal and real gases - conversions between substance phases - closed and open systems - enthalpy concept - entropy concept - thermodynamic circuit processes - heat pumps - gas and steam processes, e.g. Otto- and Diesel engine, Sterling engine and Rankine cycle cooling processes - state functions - thermodynamic equilibrium - reversible and irreversible processes - thermodynamic potentials - absorption installations

Entry requirements

Mathematics for engineers 15 ECTS credits or admission to the mechanical engineering programme, or equivalent.
